If you go to the Saguaro astronomy website, they have a link for observing
sites, and one is Cherry Road. You go N on I 17 and turn left on 169. Then you
go about 5 miles west to 372 (looks like a forest road). Then go south about
one mile and you are there. I would like to go but the weather will make it
unlikely. Sam

I think it's about 70 miles north off the I-17
20ish miles northeast of Mayer I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Slightly off topic, but where is the Cherry Road site please? I've looked in
the PAS maps section but do not see it listed. Perhaps on another club's site?
Thanks in advance...

If you guys want to go to Cherry Road, I could go on either Friday. 8-14 or
Saturday, 8-15. I agree that antennas will be too hot.

Dewell,
I would love to go. I was actually planning on going there Saturday the 15th.
I've never been there before so I don't know where to go. It would be great if
I could follow you up there.

I am in for any night that week for Cherry road. I think antennas will be too

Hi all,
I am on stay-cation the week of August 7th-15th and can be available for a
night trip to Cherry Road or Antennas pretty much any night. Assuming we get a
break from the monsoons of course.
The new moon is on the 14th but any day after the 10th should be decent.
Monday the 10th moon rise is at 1:11 am (a bit early)Tuesday the 11th moon rise
at 2:41 amWednesday The 12th - Perseus shower in carefreeThursday the 13th moon
rise is at 3:30 amFriday the 14th new moonSaturday 15th moon set at 7:19 pm
So if we get lucky enough with the weather and someone else wants to go we
could easily put this together. Just let me know.
